Achhoooo!

The great news is that the seasons are changing in Ottawa. The sunshine is coming out, the weather is getting hotter, and the flowers and trees are in bloom.

The bad news is that my allergies are exploding in a bad way. Grrr....
Makes me long for the desert dryness and heat of Oman.

Thankfully, I've got an arsenal of Nasonex, Aerius and Kleenex at hand.
I just feel badly for my lovely housemates who get to hear me sneeze and honk and rub my itchy, weary eyes. How sexy! ; )

Happy "achoo!" Spring!

Yes!

I'm back home! Back to the smells of a familiar house, to the calm that comes with the unpacking of a well worn and battle weary backpack, to the delicious cuddles of a beautiful friend, to the purrs of the cats, to the greetings from loved ones, to the reflections of a fantastic adventure.

The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.” Joseph Campbell

I just wanted to send a shout out to the three brave adventurers (Colleen, Hana and Jenn) who traveled with me to Oman and who helped make the experience rich, full of laughter and a whole lot of fun! 

I can't wait to be able to YES to another adventure. Lucky me!
